Sometimes there are \nthings that we feel, things that we want to express, and when we put \nthem on paper and speak them out loud, they can come out wrong. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I \nexpressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come \nout wrong, I was wrong to even speak them. So, I write this to give my \nsincerest apology to all members of the United States military services,\n as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;\nAs a young man who grew up in the post-9/11 era, I have watched our \ncountry fight two wars that seem like they are never going to end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I \nhave seen thousands and thousands of our brave men and women get killed \nin battle and often times, I think for what? A lot of people in this \ncountry are struggling to make ends meet and I think a lot about what if\n we had never gone to war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where would our economy be? Our schools, our \nafter-school and work programs, our streets? I mean, damn, 48 people got\n shot in New York City just this past weekend ... in 3 days ... I'm not \nsaying that it is just because of a bad economy, but at a certain point \nwe have to take care of our own people.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;\nIn no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our \nfreedoms ... a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who \ncome from the neighborhoods we live in ... In no way do I want to hurt \nany of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of\n how they feel about the two wars we fight in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am just frustrated that\n we haven't been able to bring you all home quick enough and my \nfrustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;\n&amp;#126;Soulja Boy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;/em&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
